Our Daily Bread

Welcome to Our Daily Bread!

For over 35 years, Our Daily Bread (ODB) has been a cornerstone community kitchen in Athens, Georgia. We serve nutritious meals to over 500 people each week, but our mission goes beyond food. We strive to provide open access to vital resources, connect individuals with community partners, and foster opportunities to build meaningful relationships.

How You Can Help Carry On Our Mission

As an ODB volunteer, you play a vital role in our community. Your responsibilities may include engaging directly with our guests by assisting on the serving line, preparing coffee and drinks, and sharing in uplifting conversation. We also need essential behind-the-scenes support, which includes tasks like cooking, cleaning, and dishwashing.

Musically gifted? We’d love to have you! You can find more information about sharing your talents under the "Praise & Worship" event listings for either Breakfast or Lunch.

What to Expect When You Arrive

When you volunteer with ODB, you will be led by either our Director of Operations, Betty Booker, or our Director of Community Partnerships, Patrick Howard. Please ask for either of them upon arriving at First Baptist Church.

• Parking: Please park in the main lot located at 355 Pulaski Street, Athens, GA 30601.
